This publication is going to go far! I've got a feeling this publication is really going to take off! Clearly time, love and care has been put into the first two issues of ON and it oozes style. A high quality production with very well written content and beautiful graphic design - this is the kind product you receive from a passion project. My experience of customer service was also brilliant. I unfortunately received the first issue with a faulty print on the first few pages due to an unclean roller, so I contacted the team via email enquiring how I was to go about sending the product back and enquired about a replacement. A prompt reply informed me that they'd send me out a replacement free of charge and told me not to worry about returning the faulty product. The replacement issue arrived quickly and was in perfect condition.
